Mаny COVID-19 vаccines аre mRNA vaccines. Answer the fоllоwing questiоns on mRNA vaccines and the innate (non-specific) and adaptive (specific) immune response. i) How do mRNAs differ from traditional vaccines and why is it not possible to contract the disease from an mRNA vaccine? ii) List three of the cells of the innate immune response iii) Why would someone who received convalescent plasma containing polyclonal antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) be better protected than someone who has yet to contract COVID-19 or have any such treatments? iv) Explain why if you recovered from the Delta strain of SARS-CoV-2 you would have some resistance to a subsequent infection from Delta but less resistance to the Omicron strain of SARS-CoV-2. Be sure to mention what types of cells provide this resistance and whether this is an innate or adaptive response.
